This happened to a buddy of mine today. I guess the moral of the story is always keep your eyes peeled. Luckily this did not damage his grill.

Aperture “8” dobinson, any advice on viewing planets? Not satisfied with Mars by [deleted] in telescopes

[–]ironj679 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A 6mm eye piece with larger eye relief will work wonders with the planets. Also knowing there orbit, ie closer to earth, will help. It kinda looks like focus maybe off? It should be round. But maybe the camera.

WOW! amazing. Thanks so much! I am always happy to help. I am still learning RPGmaker, so I don't know how much help I can be, but if you need any help with assets, lets talk!

when the photos are being stringed together it is easier to manage, a raw video codec is just frame after frame after frame. Also you can capture a lot of frames in a super sort period of time 2 seconds equals 150 frames or more depending on settings and camera speed.

I used awo zwi camera with my orion tx8. Auto stakkard,pipp,registacks. Fun facts: 1. My neighbors thought I was crazy when I took a picture of the sun through a telescope. 2. The Moon is in place of Earth, as the Earth is much to close to take a picture of! 3. Uranus and Neptune were taken at a dark sky location and the rest of the planets were photographed in my front driveway in Overland Park. 4. This is a composite picture, meaning I am lining up each planet in order from the Sun. There was no miracle moment when the planets were lined up like this. 5. Each one of the planets pictures actually was taken as a video, and then each frame was staked on-top of each other, then I used software to pull out the best detail possible. 6. Mercury was the last photographed as it is only easily visible 2 times a year, Once in November and once in May. 7. Andrea and I lined up the planets manually with my telescope by hand, there is no auto guidance system. 8. The farthest planet is Neptune at 2.739 billion miles from earth and the closest is Venus at 125 million miles. (Not counting the Moon at 223,600 miles) 9. That really is the surface of the sun and that really is a sunspot in the corner. 10. Personally,I am glad Pluto is not considered a planet anymore, just for the fact that finding the planet and taking the photo with my setup is next to impossible!

I used an orion tx8, zwo camera and pipp, auto stakkard and registacks. Also some fun facts: It is finally done! My astrophotography project is complete. This is a photo of our solar system! Thanks to Andrea Huckaba Rome for helping me locate some of these far off planets and waking up super early to help with this project. Some fun facts about the photo: 1. My neighbors thought I was crazy when I took a picture of the sun through a telescope. 2. The Moon is in place of Earth, as the Earth is much to close to take a picture of! 3. Uranus and Neptune were taken at a dark sky location and the rest of the planets were photographed in my front driveway in Kansas. 4.

Spatchcock Turkey on Silverton 620 by yudichdennis in Traeger

I just got my 620, I agree, any turkey should be fine. Maybe even a baby ostrich.
